What is Cybersecurity? Definition, scope, and the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability).
The Threat Landscape: Common threats (malware, phishing, ransomware), threat actors (hackers, script kiddies), and ethics in cybersecurity.
Hands-on: Setting up a virtual lab environment (VirtualBox/VMware, Kali Linux/Security OS).
OSI and TCP/IP Models: Understanding how data travels.
Protocols: In-depth look at TCP, UDP, IP, DNS, DHCP, and common ports (HTTP, SSH, FTP).
Network Devices: Routers, switches, firewalls, and their functions.
Hands-on: Basic command-line networking tools (ping, ipconfig/ifconfig, netstat, traceroute).
Linux/Bash Basics: File system navigation, permissions, user management, and essential commands (crucial for security roles).
Windows Security: User Account Control (UAC), Group Policy, and security logging.
Hands-on: Practice Linux command-line, creating users and groups, and reviewing basic security configurations in both OS types.
Fundamentals: Symmetric vs. Asymmetric encryption, hashing (MD5, SHA).
Authentication & Authorization: Passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA), and access control principles.
Authentication & Authorization: Passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA), and access control principles.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): Digital certificates, SSL/TLS, and secure communication.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): Digital certificates, SSL/TLS, and secure communication.
Vulnerability Management: Identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities, understanding CVEs.
Endpoint Security: Antivirus/Antimalware, endpoint detection and response (EDR).
